  A group of prominent political leaders and thinkers offers a pathway to cut through the gridlock and make our government work.   Every year the President stands before Congress and the American people to deliver a State of the Union Address. What was once an opportunity for honest reflection on accomplishments and goals has become more of a laundry list than a speech—a grab bag of policy ideas, partisan rhetoric, and a healthy dose of wishful thinking. Meanwhile, the gridlock in Washington means that virtually nothing in that speech will amount to anything but talk.    Governor Jon Huntsman and Senator Joe Manchin, two of the most respected and straightforward political leaders in America, have a simple solution for Washington's gridlock. It begins with getting our leaders together at the table to agree to goals not just for their party but for the whole country.   In this book, Huntsman and Manchin are joined by experts and politicians from both sides of the aisle, including thought leaders from business, economics, and academia. Contributors include two former White House Chiefs of Staff; former OMB Director Alice Rivlin; Glenn Hubbard, Dean of Columbia Business School; nine members of Congress committed to solving Washington's endemic problems; and more contributors from every walk of life. These contributors are all making a loud call for a new process of running the United States of America.   “Politics doesn’t have to be a zero-sum game—we are going to share the future, and so we need to find ways to work together…a timely book.” —President Bill Clinton   “President Clinton and I disagreed on many things, but we did agree on two very large goals—balanced budgets and welfare reform. These shared goals allowed us to focus energy on bridging the gap between the parties…By proposing four large goals around which to rally the country, No Labels: A Shared Vision for a Stronger America lays the groundwork for a return to meaningful bipartisan accomplishment in Washington.”—Newt Gingrich

  Disclaimer: This is not the official book, but a summary & it does not accompany the official. 
  As you delve into our concise summary of Zinn's monumental work, you will navigate through the turbulent waters of America's history, encountering narratives of resistance, activism, and the fierce struggle for justice and equality. We uncover stories seldom told, spotlighting individuals and movements that challenged the status quo and fought valiantly against oppression and inequality. 
  Our summary accentuates Zinn's commitment to a history that is a source of inspiration, not just a recounting of past events but a living document that resonates in today's society. It challenges readers to question the accepted narratives and to understand that history is not just the story of the victors, but a tapestry woven with the countless stories of everyday people. 
  Join us in exploring a vibrant and starkly different perspective on American history, where the voiceless get a voice and the unsung heroes take the center stage. It is not just a recounting of history; it is a call to consciousness, an invitation to rethink the past, and to forge a future that is inclusive, just, and fair.

  The Communist Manifesto (originally Manifesto of the Communist Party) is an 1848 political pamphlet by German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Commissioned by the Communist League and originally published in London just as the revolutions of 1848 began to erupt, the Manifesto was later recognized as one of the world's most influential political manuscripts. It presents an analytical approach to the class struggle (historical and then-present) and the problems of capitalism and the capitalist mode of production, rather than a prediction of communism's potential future forms. The Communist Manifesto summarizes Marx and Engels' theories about the nature of society and politics, that in their own words, "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles". It also briefly features their ideas for how the capitalist society of the time would eventually be replaced by socialism.

  Subtle Tools - The Dismantling...

  In the wake of the September 11 terror attacks, the American government implemented a wave of overt policies to fight the nation's enemies. Unseen and undetected by the public, however, another set of tools were brought to bear on the domestic front. One of today's leading experts on the US security state shows how these "subtle tools" imperiled the very foundations of democracy, from the separation of powers and transparency in government to adherence to the Constitution.Karen Greenberg describes the subtle tools that were forged under George W. Bush in the name of security: imprecise language, bureaucratic confusion, secrecy, and the bypassing of procedural and legal norms. While the power and legacy of these tools lasted into the Obama years, reliance on them increased exponentially in the Trump era, both in the fight against terrorism abroad and in battles closer to home. Greenberg discusses how the Trump administration weaponized these tools to separate families at the border, suppress Black Lives Matter protests, and attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election.Subtle Tools paints a troubling portrait of an increasingly undemocratic America where disinformation, xenophobia, and disdain for the law became the new norm, and where the subtle tools of national security threatened democracy itself.

  The Sane Citizens Political...

  When it comes to politics our country is more divided than ever. Even worse, in today's day and age this division has transcended politics and now determines where you are allowed to live, who you can be friends with, and even what beer you can drink. Well, if you are like me then this status quo of "us vs them" politics is far from ideal. In fact, I would go so far as to say it is a legitimate travesty that would have the founders rolling in their graves. I say this because what makes this country so special, in my view, is that our country, the United States of America, is built upon a Constitution that enshrines We the People's power over the nation-state. 
  In other words, the American people are not subjects, we are citizens, and as citizens it is our inherent right, nay, our responsibility to collectively decide how the levers of US political power are pulled because, at the end of the day, the government answers to us, not the other way around. But we can't effectively do this when we are busy dividing ourselves into teams and fighting each other, can we? 
  In essence, that is the problem that this work seeks to remedy. This is to say that The Sane Citizens Political Handbook takes some of the most divisive political issues of our time and breaks them down in a non-partisan way so that you, the sane citizen who is fed up with the current Republican/Democrat duopoly, can have a reasonable position on those issues that is grounded in logic, science, and the US Constitution, not one of the two major political parties. 
  With that said, if you, like me, are tired of party lines and political tribalism then put on your thinking cap, crack open this book and break free from the red and/or blue chains that have been systematically enslaving you.
